[ecrea] On the Move: Cultural Studies Conference in Norrköping June 2013

       On the Move: ACSIS Cultural Studies Conference 2013

Every other year since 2005, The Advanced Cultural Studies Institute of 
Sweden (ACSIS) has organised a broad-based cultural studies conference 
that has brought together scholars in the field from Sweden and abroad. 
The theme of the ACSIS Cultural Studies Conference 2013 is /On the 
Move/. People, ideas and things are moving in many areas and directions 
all over the world and cultural studies research plays a key role in 
furthering our understanding of these movements.

The conference will take place 11-13 June 2013 in Norrköping, Sweden and 
we welcome contributions in the form of individual papers, sessions or 
workshops connected in various ways to movement and its cultural 
significance.

Proposals may be related to dimensions of movement including any of the 
following:

                      * Social movements
                      * Spatial movements
                     * Cross-border movements
                      * Movement as change
                      * Physical movement
                      * Conceptual and methodological movement

Proposals for papers, sessions, or workshops may be submitted in 
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, or English.
